Well, [G] it's blackfish at play _ [Cm] in Hermitage [D] Bay
From Bush through across to [G] Gwass Island
_ _ [D] _
[G] They broach and they spout and they [C] lift their flukes out
[Am] And they wave to a town [D] that is dying
_ _ Now [Em] it's _ many's the [D] boat that [C] has plied on the foam
_ [A] _
_ Hauling away, [C] _ _ _
hauling [D] away
But [G] there's many more _ fellas [C] been leaving their [Am] homes
Where [D] the whales make free [G] in the harbor _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's a portage in Maine
_ [C] You'll see them [Cm] again [D] on their way to the hills of [G] Alberta
_ [C] _ _ [G] With lopsided grins [Cm] they waggle [C] their chins
And [Am] they brag of the wage they'll be [D] earning
_ _ Then [Em] it's quick, pull the [G] string boys [C] and get the tool out
[Am] _ _
Hauling [C] away, _ _ _ [D] hauling away
But [G] just two years ago you [C] could hear the same shout
[D] Where the whales make free [G] in the harbor
_ _ _ _ [Am] Free _ _ _ [D] in the harbor
_ _ _ [C] The _ blackfish are [D] sporking [G] again
_ _ _ _ [Em] Free _ _ [D] in [C] the harbor
_ _ _ [Am] Untroubled _ _ [Em] bycomings [C] and the wings of [D] men
[G] Who once did pursue [F] them as [G] oil from the sea
[C] _ _
Hauling away, [A] _ _
hauling away
[G] Now they're Calgary _ roughnecks [Am] from _ Hermitage Bay
[D] Where the whales make free in [G] the harbor _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But [G] it's a living they've found _ _ [C] deep in the ground
And [D] if there's doubts it's best [G] they ignore them
_ [D] _ [G] Nor think on the bones, the [C] crosses and stones
Of [Am] their fathers that came [D] there before them
In [Em] the taverns of [D] Edmonton [C] fishermen _ shout
_ [Am] _
Haul it [C] away, _ haul it [D] away
Then [G] after three hundred years [C] buried up by the bay
Where [D] the whales make free in [G] the harbor
_ _ _ _ [Am] Free _ _ _ [D] in the harbor
_ _ _ [C] The _ [G] blackfish are _ sporking again
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
Free in [C] the harbor
_ _ _ Untroubled [A] _ _ [Em] bycomings [C] and the wings [D] of men
[G] Who once did pursue them [F] as oil from [G] the sea
_ [C] _
Hauling away, _ [A] _
hauling away
Now [G] they're Calgary _ roughnecks [Am] from _ Hermitage Bay
[D] Where the whales make free [G] in the harbor _ _ _ _
[Am] Free _ _ in [D] the harbor _ Again
